Book Reviews of Awaken the Giant Within : How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!
Book Review: Contains an Amazing Amount of Profound and Practical Wisdom!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not generally into self-help books for 2 reasons. First, as a Christian, they often offer wisdom and advice that is contrary to what I believe to be the truth. Second, so many of them are saying the same old thing. I'm also usually a little bit wary of those who become celebrities, such as Tony Robbins. But in spite of these caveats, I found that Tony Robbins' "Awakening the Giant Within" offers sound practical advice that will very likely change your life for the better. It also happens to be that what Robbins teaches, while not from a religious perspective, is consistent with Christian teaching and that of other religions as well.
In short, this is a powerful book that teaches transformative principles: and you should read it and even study it. When I first read it more than 15 years ago, it set into motion a number of important, positive changes in my life that are still bearing fruit in my life. Every time I look back at the book, or part of it, I still learn something new. While Robbins is not necessarily original, he is an amazing synthesizer and presenter. Here, then, is an outline of the best of the wisdom this book has to offer.
I. 3 Steps to Create Lasting Change
A. Raise Standards
B. Change Limiting Beliefs
C. Change Your Strategy
II. 5 Areas to Master
A. Emotional
B. Physical
C. Relationships
D. Financial
E. Time
(Here, Robbins leaves out the most important one of all, which is the Alpha and Omega of change--SPIRITUAL change and mastery)
III. Decisions: the Pathway to Power
A. Questions
1. How am I going to live the next 10 years of my life?
2. How am I going to have to live today in order to create that future?
B. Decisions, not conditions, determine destiny
C. Must set baseline standards for what you'll accept or you'll slip into suboptimal behaviors
D. THE ULTIMATE SUCCESS FORMULA:
1. Clearly Decide What You Want
2. Take Massive Action
3. Notice What's Working or Not
4. Change Your Approach until You Achieve What You Want
E. Making a true decision means committing to achieving a result, and then cutting yourself off from any other possibility.
F. The way to make better decisions is to make more of them (I have found this to be so true as a husband, father, teacher, and priest!)
G. Information = Power, when acted upon
H. Repetition is the mother of skill
I. Distinctions empower us to make better decisions Commentary: this is related to prob. solving and identifying givens and assumptions
J. Profound Knowledge: any distinction, strategy, belief, skill, or tool which immediately increases the quality of life when we apply it
K. 3 Decisions that Control Your Destiny:
1. What to focus on
2. What things mean to you
3. What to do to create desired results
L. DECISION-MAKING SYSTEM [each of us already has one]
1. core beliefs
2. life values
3. references
4. habitual questions
5. emotional states
M. Success is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is result of experience. Experience is often result of bad judgment!!
N. Mastery takes as long as you want it to.
O. Decide to use whatever life gives you
P. In order to succeed you must have a long-term focus
Q. God's delays are not God's denials
R. 6 STEPS TO HARNESS DECISION-MAKING
1. Remember the power of making decisions
2. Realize the hardest step is making a commitment
a. most successful people decide rapidly
b. decision-making is an act
c. Never Leave the Scene of a Decision Without Taking a Specific Action Toward its Realization
3. Make decisions often
4. Learn from your decisions
5. Stay committed/ Stay flexible
6. Enjoy making decisions
III. THE FORCE THAT SHAPES YOUR LIFE: PAIN AND PLEASURE
A. Emotional Threshold - the point at which pain becomes friend and motivates us
B. What you link pain and pleasure to will shape your destiny
C. Link massive pain to a behavior, and we will avoid it
D. What drives most people's behavior is instinctive reaction to pain and pleasure, NOT intellectual calculation
E. Neuro-associations determine what we will do
F. It's not the actual pain that drives us, but the FEAR of pain - it's not the actual pleasure that drives us but the belief that does
G. Make lists of necessary actions, reasons for not taking, pains and pleasures, and then make a massive list of reasons and pleasure in the new action
IV. BELIEF SYSTEMS: THE POWER TO CREATE AND THE POWER TO DESTROY
A. It's not events that shape our lives, but our beliefs about them
B. Most beliefs and generalizations about our past are based on our interpretations of pain and pleasure
C. Great leaders are rarely "realistic" - pessimists are more accurate, but optimists see their behavior as more effective than it was
D. How we deal with adversity and challenges shaped our lives more than anything else
E. How to Change a Belief--all personal breakthroughs begin with a change of belief
1. Associate massive pain with the old belief
2. create doubt - New experiences trigger change ONLY if they cause us to question our beliefs
F. Pain is the ultimate tool for shifting belief
